That's true, if he's a minimum guy, but I don't anticipate that being the case.
Plus, if you get the version of him you got in the playoffs he's way, way better than a change of pace guy. Like, WAY better. THAT version of Burke might be better than Brunson will ever be, even in the most optimistic version of his career.
Just knowing Rick he would be completely fine with Burke and Brunson. He can play 2 small guards or 3 guard lineups. I am holding onto my Brunson stock and I expect big things. He is a baller. I hope we can keep Burke but Mavs aren't going to overpay to keep him
